For the Marinade

  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Zest About 1 lemon yields the needed zest

Instructions

How to Make Crispy Lemon Garlic Chicken Wings

  • Blend together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, avocado oil, garlic salt, paprika, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, ensuring every wing is coated. Let them marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C). Carefully remove the wings from the marinade, shaking off excess. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket and fry for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For a delicious dipping option, set aside a half batch of the marinade before adding it to the chicken wings.
  • Enjoy your Crispy Lemon Garlic Chicken Wings immediately, garnished with extra lemon wedges.

Notes

Pair with fresh celery sticks for a crunchy side. Allow the chicken wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor absorption.
